Following the dashboard reminder and documenting service protects engine health and warranty eligibility. If you’re unsure which schedule fits your driving, our advisors can help.

What type of oil does a 2018 Dodge Charger take?
The 2018 Dodge Charger 3.6L V6 uses SAE 5W-20 full synthetic oil meeting Chrysler MS-6395.

Using oil that meets MS-6395 and pairing it with a Mopar-quality filter helps maintain performance and warranty compliance. We stock approved brands that meet or exceed this specification.

What’s the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2018 Dodge Charger?
The 2018 Dodge Charger 3.6L is engineered for full-synthetic 5W-20 meeting MS-6395, which offers better cold-start flow and oxidation resistance than blends or conventional.
Conventional oils are budget-friendly but break down faster under heat. Blends improve stability, yet may not meet the latest OEM specs. Full synthetic maintains viscosity in Danvers winters and Greater Boston traffic, helping protect timing components and bearings.
- OEM recommendation: full-synthetic 5W-20 (MS-6395)
- Better cold-start pumpability in winter
- Stronger resistance to high-temp breakdown
